Abstract

"APARELHO PARA DESDOBRAR, E INSTALAR EQUIPAMENTO SUBMARINO A PARTIR DE UM NAVIO DE SUPERFìCIE NO PISO OCEâNICO, E, MéTODO PARA POSICIONAR UM CONJUNTO OPERACIONAL SUBMARINO EM UM LOCAL DESEJADO FORA DA COSTA EM áGUAS PROFUNDAS". A invenção descreve uma alternativa barata para desdobrar e instalar equipamento submarino (80) usando uma embarcação operacional ou outra possibilidade de navio (20). O equipamento não é suportado diretamente pelo navio, mas em vez disso é suportado por uma ou mais bóias (110, 160) abaixo da zona das ondas. As bóias são controladas por uma combinação de corrente (130), cabo de aço (140) e linha sintética (120, 170) que liga-as à embarcação operacional. Como tal, o sistema de bóias aqui descrito desacopla o movimento do navio da carga, suportando a carga das bóias abaixo da zona das ondas. Em virtude das bóias estarem abaixo da ação das ondas, e de sua turbulência associada, existe pouca energia e, conseq³entemente, pouca tendência de movimento. O resultado é um sistema manobrável, estável e barato de fazer manutenção de grandes cargas submarinas em uma ampla faixa de profundidades de água."APPLIANCE FOR UNFOLDING, AND INSTALLING UNDERWATER EQUIPMENT FROM A SURFACE SHIP ON THE OCEAN FLOOR, AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING AN UNDERWATER OPERATING SET AT A DESIRED COAST IN DEEP WATER". The invention describes a cheap alternative to deploying and installing subsea equipment (80) using an operational vessel or other ship possibility (20). The equipment is not supported directly by the ship but is instead supported by one or more buoys (110, 160) below the wave zone. The buoys are controlled by a combination of chain (130), wire rope (140) and synthetic line (120, 170) connecting them to the operating vessel. As such, the buoy system described herein decouples the ship's movement from the cargo, supporting the loading of the buoys below the wave zone. Because the buoys are below the action of the waves and their associated turbulence, there is little energy and therefore little tendency to move. The result is a maneuverable, stable and inexpensive system for maintaining large underwater loads over a wide range of water depths.
